Gaines' Mill

Gaines' Mill is a national park in Hanover County, Virginia. It is located halfway between Mechanicsville and Wicker Corner and next to Boatswain Creek, and, on 27 June 1862, the mill was the site of an American Civil War battle during the Seven Days' Battles. Today, it is preserved as a national park, and a monument honored members of an Alabama brigade who fought valiantly in the closing hours of the battle.
